Answer: 100N

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight on earth = 600N

Let g= 10m/s^2 on earth

Mass on earth = 600/10 =60 kg

Now, since mass is a constant quantity so, it will remain 60 kg on the moon also.

Now, weight on moon = mg

m= mass =60 kg

g′ = acc. due to gravity on moon = 1/6th the value on earth

So, Weight on moon = 1/6th of the weight on earth

⇒ Weight on the moon =600 × 1/6​ = 100 N

Hope it helps and good luck!
